Obviously I like this stuff enough to keep drinking it. Every. Single. Day. That’s an over exaggeration, but every day I work, this goes in my belly.

And that’s the biggest reason I bought this stuff. I wanted something easy to prepare that wouldn’t cost a lot. Sure, there are tons of restaurants I can eat at around me, but even the cheapest [McDonalds] would end up costing about $5-7 a day. And better yet, this is healthy! I drink about one and a half “meals” because my job is pretty active and I need the calories, but that still means including milk, it’s only $2.60 a day!!

The flavor [and texture] is never going to “wow” you. It doesn’t taste bad though. I blend mine. Never tried the shaker bottles, but others said they don’t work well so I blend away! It definitely tastes better and has a better texture if it’s sat in the fridge for about 4 hours. I haven’t really noticed much difference between 4 hours and a full day, but you need that 4 hours!

Well, do I feel full? Yeah! It tends to be consumed faster than an equal amount of calories through solid food, so your belly gets full quicker. After an hour or two, I could eat again, but I never feel starved.

It does its job and it does it pretty well. I don’t have other nutritionally complete meals to compare it to, but I’m entirely satisfied. It probably won’t ever replace all my food, and I wouldn’t really want it to. But it’s more than good enough to replace a single meal in my daily grind.

Thanks for the shake guys,
Kevin

I had a friend try this and recommend it to me. I started on the subscription the next day. I add 2% milk to it and this creamy drink tastes like blended cereal milk. It’s exactly what I need in the morning. I replaced only my breakfast, for the convenience. And it helps me start the day off nutritionally without feeling (or tasting) like I’m making a significant dietary change. I never thought I’d be the kind of person to get into meal replacement, but I can’t see myself switching back any time soon. Thanks Axcho!

I’ve been looking for a meal replacement for breakfast and lunch. My schedule is extremely busy and makes it hard to make healthy meals. So I was looking at something that has the nutrients that I was most likely missing.

I tried the chocolate Schmilk. If you blend it, it tastes really good. Also you should try to eat it a little faster. If the powder sinks to the bottom, it becomes gross. It seems to curb my appetite in the morning better then in the afternoon. I’m usually ravenous when I get home from work.

I like how you can easily count calories with this meal replacement.

I originally found this on blendrunner.com for being one of the cheapest soylent alternatives there are, and I love it! I have heard this is not a common problem but when I tried mixing this with soy milk it got extremely frothy once shaken and was disgusting to try and drink – I highly recommend almond milk if you want a non-dairy mix. But if you prefer soy milk I’d recommend diluting it with water and mix the Schmilk with the water first (to avoid making froth). Also there’s lots of ways to conveniently enjoy Schmilk- smoothies and mixing it with oatmeal is great too! Chocolate and original are my favorite flavors.

It’s cheap, and actually pretty tasty. I find the milk after-taste a little annoying, though, so if you’re like me, just pack mints (but, Light Fuel, and Soylent have their own lingering after-taste, too). This is based just on the Original flavor.

It separates if it sits for a few hours (worse if it’s overnight), but this is nothing a vigorous shake won’t fix.

I ordered the chocolate for my first batch, and anticipate trying more of the other flavors in the future. In terms of flavor, it wasn’t quite the “milkshake” some people talked it up to be. After trying it with whole milk, soy milk, and even an actual milkshake, I would describe it as an off-tasting hot chocolate mix, where there is too much cocoa and not enough sweetener. It doesn’t taste amazing, but it is definitely growing on me.

In English: package received without any problem and without customs duties. I ordered 3 flavors: chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon. This product was briefly mentioned on France 2 TV in a report dealing with future foods in the US. So I tested it out. I think it is better than a sandwich or instant noodles, which don’t have balanced nutrition. Plus it’s cheaper! I will start using it on February 10, 2016 to essentially replace lunch. I will leave another review with my opinion afterward.

I am not purchasing Schmilk or other powdered food products in order to lose weight or meet specific dietary requirements. I’m interested in it as a nutritionally complete convenience food.

Let me emphasize that you absolutely need to blend this stuff. It will not dissolve, and shaking is not enough. Stirring is not enough. You need to blend it. Otherwise, it WILL form gross, unappetizing clumps.

For a while, because of that, I was prepared to write it off as a failed experiment, but after I started blending it, my experience was so positive that I’ve decided to order more, and to keep experimenting with Super Body Fuel’s products.

I have been drinking chocolate Schmilk on and off for several months now and feel it’s time to share my opinion.

Firstly I think the first two things someone new may want to know are, does it taste good? Does it work?

The taste is great. I use 1% milk for mine. Reminds me of a good tasting protein shake. Texture is smooth even in my blender bottle. But it did take me a couple days to get used to it. After a week I actually ENJOY the taste.

Now does it work? I went two weeks on nothing at all but pure Schmilk. I had zero side effects. Lots of energy, focus was normal, no jitters or anything like that. Just wasn’t hungry, it did its job just fine of replacing food.

I however did not lose any weight. I could be mistaken however Schmilk I do not think is designed for weight loss like Light Fuel and Keto is. It’s simply designed to replace food which it did wonderfully.

If you’re like me and kinda get sick of cooking, counting calories, shopping at the store, always wondering what to make, this stuff works perfectly. Five minutes a day in the kitchen makes me 2 snacks in the morning, lunch, and dinner. Honestly the price is cheaper than the grocery store too.

I have recommended it to people and recommend it to anyone reading this as well.

I wanted to try some other varieties of soylent and DIY and had been reading good things about Schmilk so I just gave it a go with Schmilk Chocolate. I decided to use the 1/4 gallon mix instead of 1/2 gallon because 1500 calories was perfect for me, also I’m lactose intolerant so my milk is pricier than normal milk.

It was very delicious. With the 1/4 gallon milk (and I am not currently adding water) it is a almost dark-chocolate malty taste, but without any aftertaste. I suspect the full 1/2 gallon would make it much creamier and more milk chocolatey. Also a bit of sweetener (artificial or otherwise) and a bit of cinnamon seems like would make it a nice special occasional chocolate. I have only ever tried the original Soylent, vanilla Schmoylent, and 1.4. I would rank this slightly behind vanilla Schmoylent as a favorite, but way above 1.4 which I could not stand the taste of. Vanilla Schmoylent remains my favorite with its oaty and thicker flavor. This is more like drinking a milkshake but I still really like it and think I will keep drinking in my regimen.

As others have noted, it does not blend as well from shaking alone as say Schmoylent does. However, after very little time in a blender it is smooth and well mixed. If you are on the fence, I say try it. I also think this would be a really easy way to get used to a soylent/Schmoylent type diet as it really tastes like drinking a chocolate shake for lunch. I was worried about not being as full because this was smoother and not as thick as Schmoylent, but I find it satisfies my hunger just as well. I am also ready to drink more later at a second meal, where sometimes I am not in the mood for the taste of a second vanilla Schmoylent.

I’m a busy vegetarian with multiple food sensitivities, and Schmilk is AMAZING for me.

I tried Soylent 1.5 powder, and could not bear the taste and texture. I’ve heard the 2.0 liquid was better, but I can’t tolerate soy very well, so didn’t want to try.
I read about Schmilk on reddit’s soylent page, heard that it tasted better and decided to give it a shot.
I ordered some original and it was delicious. I was thrilled!

I immediately ordered more in every flavor.
My only issue from the start was that it didn’t blend very well from just shaking in a shaker ball-type blender. I fixed this easily with a $7 blender from Goodwill.

My nightly routine now involves mixing up 2 nalgenes worth of Schmilk (which lasts between 1-3 days, depending on how much “regular” food I eat) and takes about 5 minutes.
I like to alternate between all flavors, so I don’t get sick of one. Honestly, they all taste great though. I didn’t like Chocolate as much at first, but it has grown on me. Cinnamon is probably still my favorite.

I lightly sip some Schmilk in the mornings, then usually have a full meal of it for either breakfast or dinner (sometimes both). I’ve always preferred smaller meals and snacks over large ones, and Schmilk accommodates that perfectly.
I find that I feel more consistently energized and full throughout the day while drinking Schmilk. Previously, my diet tended to be very carb-heavy, I think Schmilk keeps my blood sugar levels more consistent so that I don’t end up craving unhealthy snacks.

I haven’t lost or gained weight on Schmilk, (which was the goal!) but I love that I have more control over my portion sizes and caloric intake.

My only desire is that Schmilk come in more flavors! I know I could add my own flavorings but I love the simplicity of 2 ingredients, powder + milk.

TL;DR: Schmilk is delicious and makes you feel great, you’ll love it!

I got my order on Friday, had to wait until today for a pitcher to arrive (all mine were old, and too small). So today’s my first time trying Schmilk. I honestly thought it would taste bad, it doesn’t, even right out of the blender it tasted great. (My cat thinks so too, I had trouble prying her head out of my glass … is Schmilk cat safe?)

I typically would just grab some fast food on the way home, or go out to dinner with friends every night. That gets expensive, and I end up not being a small man. Schmilk is going to let me come home, have a meal, and relax without having to spend money, or opt for the drive through. For me it’s going to be a 1 maybe 2 meal a day replacement, that I can adjust for how much I eat at lunch. This way I know I’m getting better nutrition, hopefully losing weight, and saving money. Thanks for putting together such an awesome product!

WARNING. INCOMING WALL OF TEXT IN 3..2..

Before I review this product let me give you some personal history first.

I’ve been a morbidly obese person my entire life and only within the last few years tried to do something about it. The most successful diet I’ve been on (in terms of pounds lost) has been Medifast. I went from 340lbs to 250lbs in the span of four months.

I eventually gave up because:
1) Cost – over $350 per month; and the company kept increasing prices even when they were raking in millions in profit per year.
2) I started developing cavities which I hadn’t before.
3) Felt like a zombie all the time – my arms and hands were always ice cold. This is likely due to consuming less than 900 calories per day.

After four months I tried doing three popular diets:

1.) Paleo / Low Carb didn’t work for me because I always felt like I didn’t have any energy. Constipation was never an issue – but even after three to four weeks when I should have easily been in ketosis I still didn’t have any energy. Also it was extremely expensive. On the plus side I was never hungry.

2.) Vegan. A bit better. More energy! Lots more! I felt good on it but never flipped that invisible “satiety switch” that I got when eating meat. As a consequence I always overate – to the point of never losing. Doing it the “McDougall Starch Solution” way I was always light headed and dizzy after eating Potatoes/Rice/starches. I’ve had a complete blood workup and diabetes was never an issue.

3.) Calorie restriction w/ Boxing. Man did this suck. The weight comes off but very, very slowly. Also, the harder I worked out the more I overate. At the end of the day I decided I’m a coder not a fighter.

So one day after becoming completely depressed for whatever reason I thought back to a scene in the movie “The Matrix” where the crew is sitting down for a meal and consuming a nutritionally complete slurry. I thought to myself hey it’s 2015 – why don’t we have this? I believe that was also the missing link in conjunction with the diet. Medifast let me enjoy prepackaged meals with very light cooking.

So I started looking around on the Internet for something similar and found Soylent – and other similar companies putting out their own version.

I didn’t try Soylent because:
1.) At the time it was almost impossible to get a hold of. I believe this situation has changed in recent times.

2.) Even if I could buy it, it’s still pretty expensive.

3.) The company itself gives me the impression that they are experimenting with peoples health. It seems like every month they come out with yet another revision which by version 2.0 tells me they have no clue what they’re doing. Speaking of, check out the photos on reddit of folks getting mold in their liquid bottles.

So… I purchased some Schmilk!

Thoughts on flavors:

Chocolate – Very, very tasty. After learning how much better blended Schmilk is this has moved to #1 in my favorites.

Cinnamon – Cinnamon Oat crunch milk? Yes please.

Original – Think Oatmilk but thicker.

I ordered 2x Chocolate, 2x Cinnamon, 2x Original and will keep this order the same going forward.

I’ve only been on the Schmilk diet for a week now using the new flavors but can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel. I plan to continue using it with the exception of Thanksgiving, my birthday, and Christmas, new years, and then in 2016 I’m going to see how far I can go as my sole source of nutrition.

Satiety so far has been really good. YES, I still want some food from time to time but it’s mostly mental not physical.

By the way pro tip: BLEND, BLEND, BLEND. It makes a world of difference! Don’t just shake / stir it. You don’t even need a $500 Vitamix! I have some crappy $15 unit from GoodWill and it makes the result taste like a completely different product.

Improvements? I’d definitely like to see this move to 100% Vegan in 2016. I’m currently using unsweetened organic soymilk so it’s 99% Vegan. And if I wasn’t consuming this I’d be back to eating steaks, chicken, and sausages so I’d consider this a dramatic improvement.

I’m thinking of maybe doing a Youtube channel on my weight loss results using Schmilk but not entirely sure yet.

Anyway, buy this stuff. It tastes great, the pounds are coming off, and I’m running out of things to say.

I’ve consumed 7 5-day packs of Schmilk since I first ordered it. Schmilk tastes great, mixes easy, and is a very satisfying meal. I read on this site that Schmilk tastes like ‘cereal milk’ and it’s true…that’s close; it tastes more like if you poured a bowl of cereal, added milk, then blended that down to drinkable form. To me that’s it exactly. I drink Schmilk at home and I blend it and take it to work.

There are suggestions to let the Schmilk sit in the fridge over night to improve it, but I find it’s fantastic immediately after blending, or at most after 4 hours in the fridge. That’s when it’s the best to me. I do recommend a hand blender though, making a serving at a time.
